Development for this ROM has stopped.
Thread is therefor closed.
New thread with Android 4.3 ROM will come soon.


This ROM is my first trial to build a Android 4.2.1 ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
It is based on CyanogenMod 10.1 but flavored with my small own changes as usual.
GApps for JB 4.2 is included in the ROM.
FLASH THIS ROM ON YOUR OWN RISK! YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE GONE AFTER YOU FLASHED THIS ROM.
ONLY THE ROM FOR THE GALAXY TAB 10.1 3G (GT-P7500) IS TESTED BY ME. THE OTHER ROM VERSIONS ARE NOT TESTED.

Please check the XDA discussion thread for CM10.1 for additional requirements to use this ROM. Check there if you come from a ICS ROM, as you will need a new bootloader.

IMPORTANT:
IF YOU ARE NOT COMING FROM CM10.1 OR A GANBAROU 3.x ROM YOU NEED A FULL WIPE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM!
BACKUP YOUR SD-CARD! THE WAY THE SD-CARD IS MOUNTED HAS CHANGED!

Reported bugs:
Gmail crash after flashing the ROM:
Update of Gmail from Google market should fix the problem.
Powerwidget in notification screen is not changeable.

Tips:
After flashing the tablet seems not to boot:
Give it time. I mean a long time!!! It will boot. First time I flashed this ROM I thought it would not work, but it just takes a long time to boot. The bootanimation will be seen only short time, then the screen turns black. Just wait until the setup screen pops up. But it should take longer than 5 minutes. If the bootanimation is shown for a long time and the tablet does not boot, try
1) reflash the ROM
2) check that the zip file was not damaged during download (you can find the md5 checksums for all ROMs on my homepage)

How to get Developer options in Settings:
Click on Build number several times until it says that you are a developer

How to enable MTP:
Settings->Storage->Menu (3 dots top right)->USB computer connection->Tick Media device (MTP)

Organisation SD-card:
The original content of your SD-card is now in sdcard0/0
This is related to users management and I cannot change it.

LongPress on home button, then move finger up opens Quick Launch (CM10.1 feature):
Access QuickLaunch when the navigation bar is not centered:
First train your thumb to access the QuickLaunch panel with the navigation bar centered. Press the home button, then move your thumb up and the Quick Launch will appear. After you got used to it move your Navigation Bar to the left or right (whatever you prefer). Press the home button and move your finger up. Then press again just above the Samsung logo in the middle and the Quick Launch will appear. Still working on a better solution.

Show Pie-chart control when in expanded desktop mode:
First you have to setup the position of the pie-chart navigation in settings and activated the expanded desktop. After activating you move your finger slowly from the outside of the screen into the screen to activate the pie chart (works on all 4 sides). Just try it and be patient to get used to it!

EDIT: ahhhhh, sorry i forget the Trick on JB 4.2!

That's under "Tricks" in post #1

Modem is full functional, call and receiving calls? Thanx ;)

Sorry, I have a data-only SIM card and a phone. I am not testing phone functions on the tablet.

Hi BeeGee, I enjoyed your previous works. I dare to ask a favour...
I wonder if you can investigate the well-known Veetle HD video problem of CM10/10.1 based roms. Maybe you'll find a way to solve this strange thing: why videos in HD mode start for a second and then suddenly stop.
Thanks and excuse me if my question is of minor importance, but that app is very important to me.
Respect and keep up the good work! :good:

Hi BeeGee just wondering when you say "CyanogenMod 10.1 but flavored with my small own changes as usual".
What are the advantages with your Flavors over CyanogenMod 10.1.

Sorry, I do not know the Veetle HD problem. Is Veetle a specific video player for Android? Id can't find it in the market. Please give me some more details.

Hi BeeGee, Veetle is a video streaming app, similar to Netflix, to watch videos broadcasted by users.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.veetle.android.lite
Maybe is unavailable in your area? Check also veetle.com.
Thanks! :)

I finally found it and had a quick check on it. The logcat shows that veetle is waiting for some response which seems not to come and then it ends the play. A report is send in the background to veetle.com. So I guess that they are aware of the problem. Not sure if I can do anything in the ROM to solve the problem. Veetle might have a problem with Android 4.2. I saw on the Google market that a lot of users are complaining about problems.

Sorry, I don't think I can help here.

PS:
I tried it on my Galaxy Note which is running Android 4.1 (CM10 based) and Veetle works there without problems.
Unfortunately I do not have a Android 4.2 ROM for my Note yet.
Maybe the problem is a combination of Android 4.x and tablet? Or a problem of the proprietary camera drivers coming from older Android version?????

    Maybe a new ROM is coming up!

    Building Android 4.3 ROMs for my Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Note (the first released one) and Galaxy S4 now. I am excited about the speed of the new Android on my devices, even on my old Galaxy Tab 10.1 the 4.3 version is running fast!

    For some of you are using a 7500 or 7501: use this mod to ban the battery drain: http://www.android-hilfe.de/5550736-post684.html (german androidboard, download the attachment, flash with CWM).
    I flashed this on my tab with Ganbarou v3.08 and the battery drain is blown with the wind :victory:

    Got the source changes for the kernel. Hope I can include them into my ROM.
